Singer Lily Allen says it is `lovely to be invited` to fashion events, but they aren't "fun".

In an interview on British chat show "Loose Women", she said that she would spend time with her friends instead of attending high-profile events, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"It's really lovely to be invited to those things. It's not a night out with your friends, it's not fun, everyone is like lets pose for the camera and is a little bit stiff," she said.

"Things like going to the Met Ball are important because they give you a presence in the fashion and beauty arena and hopefully some beauty brand might think 'Oh she looks quite pretty'," she added.
